FileMaker Pro can import XML data into an existing FileMaker Pro file, or convert XML into a new FileMaker Pro file.

The XML can be a physical file, or the result of an HTTP request sent to a web server. For example, you could set up an Orders database to send tracking numbers to a package delivery company in the form of an HTTP request, and their web server could return the latest package tracking information in XML format, ready to be imported into the Orders database.
